Hello @Umesh Prajapati11238 ,
Internet Routing Architectures Bassam Halabi second edition 2000
It may be old but it is really valuable. It should provide simple scenarios where it shows the effects of changing the value of a single BGP attribute like Local Preference and so on.
Some reference documents
RFC 1771
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1771.txt
updated document
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4271
Support for 4 bytes AS numbers this was quite a big change in BGP
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6793
Hope to help

2 good books are 2nd edition Routing TCP/IP, Volume II By Jeff Doyle, Cisco Press and Internet Routing Architectures, by Bassam Halabi , 2nd second edition, CiscoPress 2000.
Note 2nd edition of book is a bt better; BGP chapters are improved !
You can say always buy /read 2nd second editions
